Actor Park Ji-hoon overcame trials and embraced a new destiny as a cook.

In the first episode of the TVING original 'Becoming the Legend of the Cook' (script by Choi Yong, directed by Jo Nam-hyeong), which premiered on the 11th, Park Ji-hoon delicately portrayed the young recruit Kang Sung-jae, who adapts to military life despite precarious circumstances.

Park Ji-hoon vividly depicted the inner world of 'S-class' recruit Kang Sung-jae, who experienced feelings of loss and depression after his father's death. He expressed Kang Sung-jae's gradually changing psychology as he encountered the mysterious 'status window' system.

Kang Sung-jae successfully completed his first quest as a cook by using the 'Lisa's Eyes' skill to find expired ingredients and perfectly organizing the warehouse. Although he became a target for concentrated management by the unit, after being assigned the cook position, he began his tutorial to become the 'Legendary Lisa' by following the 'status window' instructions.

Despite the cold gaze of Sergeant Major Yoon Dong-hyun (played by Lee Hong-nae), Park Ji-hoon silently fulfilled his role, did not give up, adapted to the unit, and followed the 'status window' instructions.

At the end of the broadcast, Kang Sung-jae faced a crisis due to an unannounced visit by Colonel Baek Chun-ik (played by Jung Woong-in). He attempted a twist with the hidden item of sea urchin seaweed soup, but the shocking ending, in which Colonel Baek suddenly collapsed after tasting the soup, drew attention.

'Becoming the Legend of the Cook' announced a smooth start by recording viewership ratings of 6.2% based on Nielsen Korea's Seoul metropolitan area households and 5.8% based on nationwide households. Positive reviews from viewers have continued since the first broadcast, building anticipation for future developments.

TVING original 'Becoming the Legend of the Cook' airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 p.m. on TVING and tvN.
